Is there a way to change the text color in the terminal?

Never mind, figured it out.

I have Conky Manager installed which comes with a predefined set of Conky themes. All of them seem to work with the exception of the Nvidia panel, and I'm wondering if I have to change its configuration within its file to make it work.

I copied the file and this is what's there...

Good evening friends of LL

I have not commented in the forum for a while, but I installed get_flash_videos and I have a problem that is not fixed.

There are many videos that I want to download but I get this: File name too long at /usr/share/perl5/FlashVideo/Downloader.pm line 122.

Is there any solution for this?.

It's been a few years since I've only used LL and I'm delighted.

Thank you very much

I got my LL install on my USB Stick, so the first that is recommended is to install all updates which I attempted to do. The error instructed me to post this here---it is MANY lines--so here it is:

After scrolling thru the log, the first error that I saw (may have missed one) is this one--pretty close to the bottom:

Unpacking firefox (59.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.3) over (58.0+build6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_59.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb (--unpack):
unable to make backup link of './usr/lib/firefox/browser/omni.ja' before installing new version: No space left on device

Edit1: After shutting down LL, I looked at my UBS stick in W7. Windows Explorer show exactly 1.00 gb used (an odd number I think), my Partition Manager shows 1085.4mb used, 29436.5 unused and no boot partition. The error is not for lack of storage on the stick. It is all 1 big partition. In the root, there is a "file" called ubuntu which has a size of 0. It looks to me like a LOT of Folders & Files are hidden. How do I show them? ie I was running Firefox in LL to post the log file. but Firefox is not on the USB stick.

Edit2: After adding edit1 I noticed what I pasted from the clipboard, all of it did not make to this post. all the error are at the end.
I did not save the log file--I was depending on this post to have it complete. Similar errors were listed to the above.

Since you can't see the errors, My guess is--I should hit the Install Updates button again. Maybe there was too many files and this Lite version did not execute them correctly. I notice lots of us have problem installing updates. To start with--I would suggest the designer of the Update program, or as some would call it-- the App, break the number of files to update into 3 or 4 chunks. It took me over an hour to download all the files.

I've not installed drives since the days of IDE Master/Slave. I just picked up a bunch of computers at a government surplus auction, Dell T3500 workstations. I decided to cluster a bunch of them but I'm having
issues with them recognizing a secondary HD. The drives are good, tested and working but only the first drive shows up on all of the computers. The bios also only shows the one drive. DVD shows up also.

I have the drives on ports SATA0, SATA1. I can boot and install an OS (Linux Light) and everything is fine otherwise. I'll admit I don't know what I'm doing, but I can certainly install a drive, to me at least it seems pretty straight forward. Or at least I thought.... 

In the Bios I it tried ATA and Legacy with no luck, I don't remember the first option, but that didn't work either.

Since an update I can not use Lite.

First I've got an error message: [tt]rc.local[1683]: xset: unable to open display ""[/tt]

Now I got this:

Code:
vboxdrv TSC mode is Invariant

After about three other lines on vbox I got error messages about hd access. fsck says all file systems are ok.

Since weeks I'm using Linux Mint.

I am admittedly running Linux Lite 3.8 (64bit) on an old shed of a desktop computer. But since installing Linux Lite 3.8 Firefox seems to really drag its feet when starting up? Otherwise everthing is just great.  Is there anything i could do to speed up Firefox anyone please. Thanks

I've been in touch with a number of laptop manufacturers and asked for sample units to pair with Linux Lite 4.x

The following specs are likely to be selected based on value and features:

    CPU: Apollo Lake N3450 Quad Core 2.20 GHz
    OS: Linux Lite 4.x
    Screen: 13.3" 1920*1080 TN
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 500
    RAM:​ 4GB DDR
    Storage: 64GB or 128GB
    Camera: front 2MP
    Battery: 9500mAh (8 to 10 Hours!)
    Network: Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n
    Connection: Bluetooth 4.0
    USB 3.0

As you can see you get full HD, 8 -10 battery hours (TBC), comes in Gold and Black, although I am thinking people will want just black?
These are all the spec details I have for now. More will follow, especially regarding I/O.

My main question is, what would be a fair, 'good value for you' price for this? The answers to this will determine whether or not this is a viable pursuit.

Thank you Smile

We have a budget laptop (Lenovo ideapad 110S with 2GB memory and a 32GB drive) that was bogging down under windows updates, so I decided to install LL on it. Everything went swimmingly: I burned my ISO to a USB drive, enabled Legacy support in my BIOS instead of the UEFI, and booted from the USB. I got Linux Lite up and running from the USB without issue, double clicked my install Linux Lite icon, went through the steps exactly as indicated in the help (I was ok with wiping the entire drive and starting fresh), rebooted the computer... and nothing happened.

I get a boot menu that has 1. Windows Boot Manager, and 2. eMMC Disk: SanDisk iNAND 32GB, and both of those just take me right back the same boot menu if I hit Enter. I booted from the USB again, and it looked perfect again. I re-installed LL the same way, despite it pointing out that I already have it installed, but to no avail.

I'm not super techy, but I've never had problems installing an OS before, and google has not been able to answer my questions... I feel like I must have missed something obvious, but can't for the life of me figure out what.

I just want a simple OS that kids can use with Libre office and a web browser and VLC. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I am reasonably new to linux.
I installed Linux lite 3.8 on my Toshiba.
When I try to shut down, it been won't shut down the whole way. It ends up on a black screen, leaving me to hold down the power button.
I have been searching for similar issue. I have tried a couple of things, like asking the computer to shut down via the command line - that didn't work. Also, elsewhere I saw that one person pressed enter at the black screen to close it - that didn't work either.
I have also seen that some graphics cards cause issues, especially amd but mine is not amd.

Would really appreciate any help at all :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
